Asteroid 2023 KW2 come close to the earth Tomorrow the size approx 210 Foot speed 36350 Km
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) According‘Asteroid 2023 KW2’ will come close to the Earth tomorrow i.e. on June 6. During this period the distance between the two will be reduced to 45 lakh 30 thousand kilometers. This distance may seem very long to you, but it is nothing compared to the vastness of space. According to NASA, ‘Asteroid 2023 KW2’ is coming towards the Earth at a speed of 36 thousand 350 kilometers.
This asteroid, approximately 210 feet in size, is as big as an airplane and belongs to the Apollo group of asteroids. As the name suggests, this rocky disaster was discovered this year. Scientists will continue to monitor it until it moves away from the Earth. Asteroids can change their direction at any time. If their focus is towards the Earth and they collide with our planet, they can cause great devastation.
Scientists have been believing that millions of years ago, dinosaurs were wiped out from our earth due to the destruction caused by an asteroid collision. In the year 2013, a 59 feet wide asteroid crashed on Chelyabinsk city of Russia. No one had any inkling of his arrival. Due to the crash of the asteroid, 8000 buildings in the area were damaged and one thousand people were injured.
When asteroids come close to the Earth, scientists look at the distance between them and the Earth. For this the help of satellite and radar is taken. Most asteroids orbit in the Main Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter, but many asteroids have orbits that pass near Earth.
